(Almost) April in Portugal

"I found my April dream in Portugal with you...." 

# 9: Get naked and attack people on the street


It would have been more fitting if the protagonist in this story had waited one more day to walk around naked in Lisbon attacking people. I guess he thought it was April 1, but it was actually March 31. Turns out our hero was in Portugal illegally, having reportedly arrived from Morocco. Not sure if he was dressed or naked when he passed through Customs and Immigration checks.

For the benefit of all you non-informed readers out there, the song, April in Portugal, is best known for.....uh, naked guys walking around Lisbon beating and threatening people.

At any rate, here is the story from today's Correio da Manhã  (CM), translated by Fousesquawk. A XXX video of the incident is also available for viewing.

GNR* soldier beaten by man with mental problems in Lisbon

Guard intervened when the man threatened other people

by Miguel Curado and João Carlos Rodrigues-15:49

A soldier with the GNR, who, CM has learned, works as a courier with the Security and State Honors Unit of this security force, was savagely attacked by a man with mental problems on Thursday morning in Lisbon.

A source in the PSP** told CM that the attack occurred around 11:35  next to the Earthquake Steps, in the Campo do Ourique zone in Lisbon.

The attacker is a foreign man (reportedly Moroccan) who showed signs of mental problems while wandering around public space.

The GNR soldier intervened as the man was threatening others and causing damage.

It was then that the guard was savagely punched and kicked by the man, who moments after attacking the soldier, completely undressed.

The immigrant, who was found to be undocumented, then tried to forcibly enter a Carris bus.

The PSP intervened and, faced with obvious mental problems on the part of the attacker, took him to the San Francisco Xavier hospital. The above-mentioned source of the PSP told CM that the man is being held at the psychiatric ward of this hospital. He is not yet under arrest pending the medical evaluation.

The guard who was attacked did not need hospital treatment. Since it was a public offense, there was no need for the victim to file a complaint.
